thanks mate..! Pretty good explanation !! If you don't mind how you progressed your calories and macros through those two years from 167 to 217 pounds..?

Tbh mate, I don't track my calories or macros enough to tell you I've done it a few time for youtube videos to let everyone know when the question comes around a lot lol .. I'm due to make a full day of eating for this current push however only 6 weeks in i'll wait til 8-10 weeks before making one ..
Jordan gives me a food plan and i just follow that religiously

What i can tell you is that as i've got bigger the more food I have had .. As said before the bigger the body the more food is warranted.. so as we have got heavier the more the food I've had..
when food has been increases its been across all Carbs, Fats and Protein

Hi team

Another update from me
Food is the same as the last update
weighed in at 215 this morning

Ran into a minor hiccup this week.. as going for my top set on leg press during legs on tuesday evening i popped a few fibers for sure and need some well earned chiro.. whatever happened meant i couldn't put weight on my left leg.. however my chiro favours me due to my potenial ( his words not mine) so i went over there right away and he did some pelvic alinement stuff and i went out there walking on my own
I have managed to carry on training pull (with no hip hinge exercise) and push
I feel like i will be ready to train legs again on wednesday as this hip is getting better every day .. Now i have little no pain and just tender in the area ( like being kicked in football soccer for you US guys)

A few pictures of me below nothing much to see.. however progression in lifts and strength is dictating we are putting on tissue
The creation of the REAL GINGER mass Monster has begun

Looking good despite the injury. The thickening continues. Speaking of football, who's your Premier League team? I am an American, but hyped for Tottenham v. Arsenal this morning

Good to hear you're healing up. May the injury gods be with you.

Congratulations on the championship then! Hell of a season for Liverpool.

I adopted Spurs as my team. Basically because I am a big NY Jets fan (similar little brother feeling between NY Jets and Giants and Spurs/Arsenal). Big fan of football, even the (admittedly minor league) MLS version.

Hi guys

Update from myself
217.0lbs now (pictures below)

Leg day variation has been doing its thing, however I feel like i can go back to leg press and squats etc.. this week

Been having chiro once per week and this will carry over into my routine now ..I feel like i carry enough muscle for this to be beneficial and great to keep everything 100% as possible..

All lifts are progressing and training couldn't any more awesome.. well maybe if James Hollingshead was my training partner lol that would make it a little more awesome haha

Looks like the bodybuilding season is under way and shows are going forward.. who's looking forward to the Tampa Pro ? who do you have winning ?

Solid progress, keep it up. I thought Iain was competing at Tampa but don't see him on the list (http://www.ifbbpro.com/all-categorie...ampa-pro-xiii/). If he is I'm definitely rooting for the fellow Canadian. It will be interesting to see Hunter in his pro debut.

Same here bud.. I hope it's just human error that his name has been missed on the list.. If he is (fingers crossed) the comparison between Hunter and Iain will be awesome

[Roche]

Updated list has him on it (http://npcnewsonline.com/2020-ifbb-t...s-list/618715/). I'm also interested in seeing Justin Maki's size improvements.

Been seeing Hunter's impressive stuff on IG, but I can't get into the actual shows. Do you watch them? Or are you just interested in the results?

Probably won't watch the Tampa just because they're charging $35 for Saturday's live stream only. I usually watch the bigger shows (Olympia, Arnold, New York Pro). Depends on how stacked the line up is and if there's someone I'm a big fan of. If Hunter qualifies for Olympia by winning his first pro show that would be unbelievable.
